New York, USA, February 13th, 2026,
HashKey Exchange, the largest licensed virtual asset trading platform in Hong Kong under HashKey Holdings Limited (3887.HK), launched the SUI/USD spot trading pair at 16:00 Hong Kong time on February 4, 2026, and opened OTC trading to professional investors.
According to the official announcement, users can now trade SUI through the spot and OTC modules, while deposit and withdrawal functions for the SUI network have also been activated simultaneously.
Public information indicates that SUI is a Layer 1 public chain built on the Move programming language and operates on a DPoS consensus mechanism. Its native token, SUI, serves core functions such as paying network transaction fees, node staking, and on-chain governance. SUI employs an innovative object data model that processes on-chain assets and data as independent objects in parallel, thereby overcoming the performance limitations of traditional blockchain serial execution. This design enables a theoretical throughput of nearly 300,000 transactions per second, with transaction confirmation in approximately 0.4 seconds and an average transaction cost maintained at around $0.001. In contrast, traditional public chains like Ethereum have a theoretical capacity of about 15 transactions per second, often require over 15 minutes for confirmation, and can see transaction fees surge to several dollars or even higher during congestion. Thus, SUI demonstrates significant advantages in scenarios such as high-frequency NFT trading and real-time in-game asset interactions.
Market analysts believe that the listing of SUI on HashKey Exchange directly enriches the platform’s tradable asset portfolio, providing professional investors with new options for diversified allocation. At the same time, it opens a crucial compliant market entry for SUI assets. Through a clear regulatory pathway and a trusted platform environment, it significantly enhances the convenience and confidence of professional investors in participating.
Further analysis points out that SUI’s listing on a licensed exchange signifies a substantial elevation in its legitimacy and mainstream acceptance, mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the stringent listing review process of licensed exchanges provides SUI with a compliance endorsement, reducing market risk perceptions; second, SUI’s inclusion in the "investable list" for regulated institutional investors opens access to professional capital; third, the secure fiat gateway offered by HashKey significantly lowers the operational barriers for traditional capital to allocate SUI.
For the market, this move will further optimize and solidify the structure of Hong Kong’s digital asset market. The listing of SUI on a licensed exchange introduces a high-performance public chain to Hong Kong, enhancing the asset diversity of its local compliant ecosystem. It demonstrates to the global market that Hong Kong’s regulatory framework is capable of effectively accommodating and empowering diverse digital assets, from mainstream tokens to cutting-edge public chains, thereby strengthening Hong Kong’s position as an international digital asset hub. Looking ahead, the market will focus on SUI’s long-term value performance through compliant channels, with its liquidity depth and institutional participation in the local market serving as key indicators of its success.
